Can you pass along the name & location of the dealership? Will even pass along that you referred me if it work out. My dealer gives $100 per closed referral.
Thanks
I just got my LE AWD, but I was told it has no back-up sensor (only in XLE limited).
Has anyone installed back-up sensor on LE, I noted some LE vans have the sensor.
How much will it cost? Is it useful?
Thanks

Crown Auto in Lawrence KS, very easy over the phone negotiation. Should have researched the extended warranty, could have got 7/100 for same price. Anyway, hope this helps. Got 4.19% from Toyota. First foreign car purchase for me.
your email is private. if you can make it available, i'd be happy to email you back or chat on the phone.
Sorry to be so inept.
It's a bit convoluted, but using the Profile instead of posting your info online will confuse most of the spam harvesters.

Ok, anyone buying? (a Sienna, not my excuse <g>)
Steve, Host
Based on what I have seen on the message board, this seem a bit high.
Any comments?

Optional Equipment
CF Carpet Floor Mats/Door Sill Protector $119
BW LE Package #7 $2364
Destination Charge $540

Can anyone tell me if that is a good price. I live in the NY metropolitan area.
Thanks
$22600, that's $500 over DEALER's invoice, also
around $1000 over KBB invoice. Not in stock.
Dealer insisted on a $200 doc fee, central NJ.
SO total is 22800 before TTR. Good deal?
It drove well, but we're still trying to decide two things: 1) given that we like the styling of the Nissan Quest better, is the AWD option (the main reason we would buy a Sienna) worth it? and 2) any chance the 2005 Sienna will look a wee bit more stylish?
We're not in a big rush to buy, so could wait til Oct when our dealer says they'll be in stock. But I have no idea what changes (style, price, otherwise) are in store for the 2005 Sienna...should we wait or making a mistake?
Also, we're in the chicago area and he offered about $1500 off MSRP only. carsdirect is consistent with that so I wasn't too concerned AND he had basically no stock. They really are still selling themselves around here. But now I'm reading this board and you all have better deals. Should I push him alot harder or am I wasting my time?
Is it a very good idea to get the Extended Warrenty (7/100/0 from KC Summers for $795)?
This means I get extra 4 years beyond the Manufacturer warrenty ($17/month). Is it worth it even though it is a Toyota (very reliable!).
I also got an offer from a credit union for Pinnacle warrent for $760.
Basically what is people's experience as far as Sienna's reliabiliy is concerned.
Thanks in advance.
I got a LE-8 with pkg #4 and leather for $26,675 +TTL in Texas.
Now considering whether to get the 7/100/0 platinum from KC Summers. Is it worth it?
Have anybody bought any accessories from online and which ones (merchandise and store)? I want them to be lower in price than the dealers.
I am looking for:
1. All weather floormats (rubber).
2. Cargo liner and net
3. Mud guards
4. Window and door sill
5. nose mask or bra.
Also, don't waste your money on the factory front-end mask. Mine is sits in the garage in the box it came in. It takes a great deal of time to install, and the tabs that anchor it where the bumper meets the headlights were too large to fit in the gaps. Took me two hours to install it the first time, and directions say not to allow it to get wet, and to remove it every time you wash the car.
thanks,

I just hooked up with a good deal via the Internet.
04 Sienna LE 7 Passenger
BW, CF, Z1, DK, WH
OTD - mid to low -$27K
I want to that everyone on the board for their great advice!
First time here, just wanted to ask for any positive or negative 411 on the Toyota Sienna. I'm considering purchasing one and wanted some input from Sienna owners as far as performance,comfort, etc.......
I talked few dealers in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin. Finally I found the reasonable price.The TTL was an extra $1660.
The finance guy tried to add some extra fees but I debated to get them to remove one of them.
They are charging quite a bit ($145+$9=$155) for mats and $140 for cargo liner and $100 for window defelctor.
Did anybody tried the ebay or other discount web sites for lower prices?
How does the "clear" mud guards look? Or should I get the color-coded ones.
Also, how is the all weather floor mats from this site look? They are different than the ones from WeatherTech.com
I also wanted the door-sill and edge protectors. But they are charging quite a bit. Did anybody get somewhare cheaper?
That sounds very good! Where did you get it? I only get a quote for the same thing for $32169, plus doc fee.
Thanks
I think I heard somewhere that if I buy a car in another state, somehow Gulf States can affect the price that I pay for it as a resident in the Gulf States region. Or maybe that was something about paying double taxes. Any info out there?
I'm waiting to see how quiet the 2005 Odyssey Touring really is. This Gulf States issue bothers me.
Thanks in advance for any answers!
I then found this neat ZIP Express utility to find the ZIP codes for state capitals in neighboring states "http://www.getzips.com" With the zip code info, I then used the Toyota web site and entered different zip codes to find out what option packages were available. I found that my package was available in two neighboring states. I then used a combination of the Toyota's site "Find a dealer near you", and Yahoo Yellowpages. In Yahoo, you'll need to change your location to the correct zip code, then do a search for toyota dealers. I then contacted several of them, and found one willing to deal. I ended up getting my vehicle 5 weeks after placing an order, and paid about $400 over invoice. Much better delivery time and cost over my local deals.
$123 one way flight and a 250 mile drive home. A fun 250 mile drive home

Now I just have to decide which minivan to buy. Needing to test drive the '05 Ody before seriously shopping prices is making me kind of frustrated. I keep coming back to these forums because I'm trying to sublimate my desire to get this minivan purchasing thing done already!
The reason for needing a test drive prior to finally deciding is to assess the '05 Ody's noise level. Interior noise is a big issue. My kids voices don't project much and I'm a survivor of too loud music--bad hearing.
If the '05 Ody is still pretty noisy on the test drive I'll probably buy an '05 Sienna...except I'll be wondering how much quieter the Ody could have gotten with sound deadening mats under the carpet.
By the way, does anyone know if the Sienna and Ody have casette players? During my work commute I listen to books on tape. Even though more and more of our library's new audiobooks are on CD, I surely don't want my choice of books cut by 75% because of no casette player! Does anyone know what the cassette situation is? I forgot to look when I test drove the '04 Ody and Sienna!
Where did you purchase your LE-8 in Texas? Any dealers you recommend? Did you have any trouble finding LE-8's? They seem somewhat rare...
so, what do you think?
Not a single one has even quoted the Carsdirect price (one "agreed" to match it but would not quote it) they have all been higher. BTW Carsdirect does not include the DOC fee in their quote. This seems strange since they work thru speific dealers in a given area they should know the doc fee. They also do not tell you the DOC fee is not included until they contact you after you have submitted your personal info and contact info.
I purchased fro Champion Toyota in Austin. I basically negotiated through emails.
I wanted LE-8. I ordered and waited for 6 weeks. If you have kids, an extra seat really helps because you can fold down the rear seat entirely and take bunch of camping gear.
We got a great deal on a Sienna LE and wanted to see what type of Extended Warranty deals people are getting.
I am not sure if we are really interested in the Extended Warranty (depends on the price), I need some numbers for reference if the "pitch" is thrown.
I am sure that they will hit me with the high numbers because I got the mini-van for about $200 over invoice.
I think something in the 7/75 or 7/100 range would fit our needs
Thanks in advance!
